I have fairly advanced stage 4 esophagus cancer metastezied into the liver. Can I eat ice cream?
I am on chemo for a year now. I understand that sugar feeds cancer cells. My blood sugar hovers around 100. Can I still eat ice cream in small amounts? The doctor says yes. They want to keep my weight stable (it is). I know that if you drink a whole glass of apple juice, your blood sugar spikes. But for only some time, maybe 1/2 hour to an hour? Anyway I love ice cream and I need pleasure these days. Cookies too, but honey sweetened.
If your doctor says yes, then go for it and enjoy. I'll say some prayers for you. God bless.

Eat as much ice cream as you like; it will have no effect on your cancer. Sugar does NOT feed cancer, and in any case at this stage you should be pleasing yourself

Eat as much as you want. It will not affect the course of your disease, but may make you feel better.

Our bodies convert all of the foods we eat to glucose, a sugar. It is the form of energy our cells---all cells---use for energy.
Your blood sugar is well within normal limits. Ice cream will not harm you.
(Incidentally, your body does not distinguish between the sugar in honey and table sugar; honey does have some nutrients, however, so if you prefer it, by all means, continue to use it.)
I'm sorry you're facing such a difficult disease. It's great that you are participating in healthy decision-making and taking an active role in your health. But try to keep things in perspective. While it's important to eat a nutrient-dense diet, it's okay to indulge yourself now and then. It's important to take in enough calories to keep your weight up---so little treats now and then can be really helpful.

I think you should eat whatever gives you pleasure.

Eat your ice cream .. the calories you receive from the ice cream is far more important than worrying about sugar. Sugar doesn't 'feed' cancer anyway, that's an urban legend. No scientific evidence exists that can prove that sugar feeds cancer cells.
